Oceanfront Cottage with incredible views of Acadia National Park

The views were gorgeous, house was clean, good seating arrangement and nice couch with recliners for TV watching, large smart TV, loved the woodburning fireplace, great location to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. Owner was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Our second stay at Rockpoint...everything was perfect!

Very quiet location right on the sound with beautiful views. Cottage was well stocked with cookware / appliances. Lots of little touches to help guests explore the island. Loved hearing and seeing the loons and the daily deer visits. Would not hesitate to book again!

We really enjoyed the quiet beauty of Rockpoint cottage. The well equipped kitchen was great too. And maybe best of all were the ocean fresh lobsters we got from Paul! A true feast!

We had a great time staying at Rockpoint. The cottage was exactly as described in the listing and really had everything our family needed. The host Paul was really responsive and even offered fresh caught lobster for sale which was an added perk. Location was great with easy access to many trails and just a short 15 minute drive to Bar Harbor. I would recommend this location to others.

We stayed at Rockpoint for a week in June, 2024, and fell in love with this cute as can be cottage! The classic paintings, built-in bookshelves, and chenille bedspreads provided a classic Maine cabin vibe, while the newly updated bathroom, couch and recliners, and smart TV provided a clean, modern feel. The best of both worlds! The star of the show, however, is Rockpoint’s location on Somes Sound, and the deck and dock to enjoy it from. We saw a bald eagle (check the top of the dead tree!) osprey, loons, and porpoises. Lobster boats worked their traps right in front of our dock, what a great sound and ambiance. And the view across to the mountains was glorious … sunrise, sunset, and rain storm! We had coffee on the deck every morning and cocktails every evening and never tired of the beautiful, peaceful view. Rockpoint was a great base for exploring the many harbors around MDI, the Loop in ANP, and trips to the Schoodic Peninsula (Schoodic Point is awesome!) Blue Hill Peninsula and Penobscot Bridge Observatory (another winner!) We stocked up on groceries at Hannaford, and were out exploring all day every day and home for dinner every night. Wonderful! Thanks to owner/manager Paul Grindle for his friendly and timely communications. We enjoyed meeting you and hope to return! We highly recommend Rockpoint for its cozy cottage feel, private yet convenient location, and gorgeous views. Do it! You’ll be happy you did.

We loved our stay at Rock point cottage! We were so lucky to find Rock Point Cottage while searching for our Acadia adventure. Our family of 5 was extremely comfortable in Paul’s 3 bedroom cottage on Somes Sound. We were easily able to explore MDI and Acadia while having a base camp within 20-minutes of most of our destinations. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking meals and sleeping soundly while planning all of our excursions. The bathroom on the second floor was an added bonus for my young girls staying upstairs. Paul was beyond accommodating offering assistance recommendations if needed throughout the stay. We look forward to returning in warmer months to take advantage of the outdoor fireplace and dock, Rockpoint is truly a hidden gem.

fantastic - would go back

Rental was very clean, well appointed, quiet and Paul was incredibly nice. The pride and efforts the family puts forth are very evident. Paul also provides the freshest lobster at a steal. Highly recommend!

My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rock Point cabin overlooking Somes Sound. The view from the deck was amazing and the weather was so nice that we spent hours every day enjoying scenery and wildlife while we played cards and other games on the table out there. We had fun getting the lobsters from Paul at the dock and they were delicious. The kitchen was very well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the living room furniture was also very comfortable. We only watched the television a few times but the instructions were very easy to follow. I have stayed at many VRBO houses that have three or more remotes and no information on how to use them, so it was nice having clear and easy instructions. We loved hiking in Acadia every day and enjoyed coming back to the quiet of the cabin. Thank you Paul for being a wonderful host.
